Its bold black ground and polychromatic floral design, inspired by Bessarabian elegance, and the plush texture make it equally compelling as a bold decorative statement.
On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will note this is a very special piece of its provenance—one of the few Tulus that can be found with such a distinctly romantic, floral aesthetic, clearly drawing inspiration from classic Moldovan Bessarabian rug designs.

Hand-knotted with high-pile wool, its plush surface offers a soft, shaggy texture that is both inviting and durable.

Here, a vibrant field of contrasting black forms a dramatic, deep ground.

The design truly sets itself apart with its striking composition: a central bouquet of lush red and yellow roses is surrounded by a continuous floral border garland featuring blooms in shades of pink, cream, and muted gold.

This polychromatic symphony brings the refined, romantic charm of Bessarabian patterns to the rustic, shaggy texture of the Tulu weave.

This highly stylized rug enjoys a confident, dramatic presence, demonstrating a rare and brilliant cross-cultural play between Turkish weaving tradition and a sophisticated floral sensibility.

It's a regal, unique piece with a fresh approach to the many classic beauties of the Tulu—exemplary of their bold aesthetic and their smart play of a cross-border artistic dialogue.
